GPU waits, before starting
answering the host.
[Parity] <Odd>
<Even>
<None>
<Odd>

[Modbus slave address] <1..247> <1> On a site there can be
multiple gauges connected
via the RS-485 physical link
and hence different CAN-
RS boards can be identified
by unique slave addresses.
However, note that RS-485
supports only 32 devices
in multidrop and so must be
the addresses.
